I heard that there are 2 version of this movie, 129 minutes and 138 minutes. Where can i get 138 minutes version?And about nudity, is there a frontal nudity?
shareI've found an Italian site that listed the 138 min. version. I didn't purchase it, because I understood that fully a half hour had been cut from the American version. Is there really only an 8 minute difference between the two versions? I'd like to know the truth about that, if anyone knows.
shareOver the years I've read all kinds of speculation about what might be included in the longer version including a scene involving Lica wrestling with a bear on the ships deck, to an appearance by the Goddess Venus and finally a scene involving the appearance of several additional Greek Gods speaking from the heavens as Encolpio leaves the scene of the recently deceased Ascilto.
shareThe Criterion laserdisc is 129 minutes, so I think it's safe to assume that that's the "correct" version. How do you account for the 138 minute version, though?
shareekeby mentioned finding a listing for a 138 minute version on an Italian site.
I seem to remember reading about a rumored longer version being available primarily in parts of Europe.
